World Satellite Image Map
Enhanced Physical World - Giclee Archive Print

This is an enhanced satellite image map of the world in a geographic projection. World topography and hydrology are depicted in exceptional detail. This view of the world is known as the GeoSphere image and was created in 1997 from data collected with the NOAA TIROS satellite. It is cloud free, created from multiple mosaics of satellite images, utilizing two visual bands and three thermal bands. The land cover image was combined with high resolution hydrology and elevation data to produce the final image resulting easy to discern natural features such as rivers, mountains, and forests. The source resolution of this map is 30 arc-seconds (1 pixel per km at the equator). Political borders are demarcated using red outlines.

Each map is available in an archival museum quality print. This special printing process is known as Giclee (zhee-CLAY) and is commonly used to produce museum quality fine art prints. Large format digital images are printed on premium 10 mil (0.25mm) glossy photo paper, the result is a brilliant colorful image with a vivid life-like quality. Pigment based Epson UltraChrome K3 ink is used providing a lightfastness rating of up to 108 years, guaranteeing minimal noticeable fading over a very long period of time. Giclee printing is superior to traditional lithography in a number of ways: colors are brighter, lasts longer, and is a higher resolution.

Museum Quality Beveled Edge Mounting

Giclee prints are also available with a museum quality beveled edge mounting option. A detailed illustration of the mounting process is shown to the right. Premium UV matte laminate is applied to the Giclee by heat and pressure in a heat press. This ensures protection against moisture, UV degradation and damage from handling. The laminated Giclee is dry mounted to 1/8" fiberboard (MDF) with a 1" frame. It is sealed under heat and pressure then finished with a taped beveled edge. The final result is a non-glare, easy to clean professional quality product suitable for public display in the worlds most prestigious museums or galleries. The surface is easily cleaned with a soft cloth and glass cleaner.
